Musgrave is new QB coach, Clay defensive assistant with the Eagles

Kelly has hired Bill Musgrave, Oregon’s quarterback from 1987-90, as Philadelphia’s new quarterbacks coach. Musgrave, who was the Minnesota Vikings’ offensive coordinator the past three seasons, replaces Bill Lazor, who left to become the Miami Dolphins’ offensive coordinator.

The former Ducks head coach also announced that Mike Dawson has been promoted to assistant defensive line coach and Michael Clay, Oregon’s leading tackler in 2012, has been named defensive quality control coach. Clay, 22, signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2013, but did not make the team.

Mark Helfrich, Kelly’s offensive coordinator with the Ducks from 2009-2012, hired Erik Chinander to be his new outside linebackers coach earlier this month. The 34-year-old Chinander was on Philadelphia’s staff last season after spending three years as an intern and graduate assistant coach at Oregon.
